The defining effect of prebiotics is to stimulate selectively the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the gut and, thereby, increase the body's natural resistance to invading pathogens. Prebiotic carbohydrates may also have additional, less specific, benefits because they are fermented in the large intestine. The prebiotic carbohydrates that have been evaluated in humans at the present...

Prebiotics have successfully been used to prevent infectious diseases in aquaculture and there is an increasing amount of literature that suggests that these products can also improve alternative protein utilization and digestion. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine whether prebiotic supplementation increased the growth efficiency, intestinal health, and disease resistance of ...

Background: Prebiotics have been shown to improve satiety in adults with overweight and obesity; however, studies in children are limited.Objective: We examined the effects of prebiotic supplementation on appetite control and energy intake in children with overweight and obesity.Design: This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Forty-two boys and girls, ages 7-12 y, w...

Background: The need for more cost-effective compounds is imperative because the demand for prebiotic compounds is ever on the rise. Objective: The focus of this study is the purification of the endoxylanase from Bacillus pumilus B20 and its application in a cost-effective production of the prebiotic xylooligosaccharide (XOS) syrup having a high concentration of oligo...

P rebiotics have been defined recently more as a concept then a functional ingredient group: ‘The selective stimulation of growth and/or activity(ies) of one or a limited number of microbial genus(era)/ species in the gut microbiota that confer(s) health benefits to the host’. This definition has in common with earlier definitions that modulation of microbiota composition and/or activity is its...

The inclusion of Dandelion meal [DL] (Taraxacum officinale) in the diet laying hens and its effect on productive performance, intestinal morphology dry matter content feces was evaluated. Ninety-six 35-week-old brown Hisex were distributed 6 treatments. Gradual levels DM (1%, 2%, 3% 4%) compared with a based mixture antibiotics (CAB; 0.03% Zinc bacitracin + colistin sulfate) another 0.20% sodiu...

Abstract Amino acid decorated imidazole, pyrimidine and purine derivatives, resembling analogues of peptide nucleic acid's building blocks, have been synthesized by a three‐way multicomponent chemistry diaminomaleonitrile, one the most studied chemical precursors in prebiotic chemistry. The regioselectivity reaction between trimethyl orthoacetate selected panel α‐amino acids, was controlled ene...

The research results on the development of grain energy bars are given. experimental plan for mixtures was used to create with prebiotic properties. Inulin, oligofructose and gum-arabic were selected as ingredients, which added binding syrup, subsequently cereals fruits. Grain analyzed by quantitative descriptive analysis best formulae determined according preference test. It found that respons...

The objective of this research was to investigate the efficacy of dietary inclusion of probiotics Primalac® and Bactocell® and prebiotic Fermacto® on broiler’s performance and immune response, individually or in combination. A total of 540 one-d-old male Ross 308 broiler chicks were allocated into 6 experimental treatments with 6 replicates of 15 birds per replicate from 1 to 42 d of age. The b...
